2026 King Charles III 'Lunar Year of the Horse' 999.9 1oz Gold Proof Coin

The lunar year of the Horse is the first coin to be released by the Royal Mint bearing the date 2026.

Each coin fuses British craftsmanship with ancient Chinese traditions, ensuring the heritage and history behind this practice is evident in each design.
